If you have a case you would like us to take, you MUST send us a letter with copies of any relevant documentation. (DO NOT SEND ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION. We can not be responsible for it!) Please do not send certified mail it will delay the process.

Please note the following when submitting Complaints for consideration by the ACLU Central Chapter Legal Panel:
By following these suggestions your complaint will have the best chance of full consideration and evaluation by our team of trained attorneys.
First, you should submit as much relevant information as possible about your claim. Include factual details, names, places, dates. witnesses, etc.
Avoid argument and venting. Too much emotion may draw the focus away from important aspects of your claim.
Remember, this Legal Panel only considers claims arising from certain counties in the State of Florida. Those counties are: Orange, Seminole, Osceola and Lake. If your claim comes from another area, please submit it to the proper Legal Panel. If you do not know which panel has jurisdiction over your claim, please contact: jcollins@aclufl.org to request further assistance or use this online form. Finally, please note that the ACLU is made up largely of volunteers, with extremely limited resources. We cannot accept all cases that fall within our purview as a group, even if we want to. The cases with the best chance of acceptance involve constitutional issues that affect many people, or certain classes of individuals. The facts should not be in dispute, and the plaintiff must be willing to endure possibly years of litigation. The ACLU is not a legal aid society, and does not offer general legal services to the poor Please make sure that your claim involves important civil liberties, and not purely personal concerns. Thank you for considering the ACLU Central Chapter for assistance!

The Chapter Intake Committee will review your letter and make a recommendation to the Board of Directors.
This recommendation will be to accept, reject or further investigate.

The recommendations are reviewed and acted upon by the Board of Directors at its monthly meeting.
Notices are mailed to those individuals whose cases have not been accepted. Those whose cases have been accepted or require further investigation are contacted by phone.

The ACLU of Central Florida does NOT provide legal advice. When we accept cases we refer them to volunteer attorneys. Until such time as we accept a case, the individual with the case is responsible for protecting his/her own interest. We have no paid staff, and depend on volunteers for all of our work.
